BRACE Training: A Public Health Model for Climate Action (November 3, 2026)

Program Information

As climate change increasingly affects public health—particularly frontline communities—local action is more important than ever. The updated Building Resilience Against Climate Effects (BRACE) Framework provides health professionals and community partners with a practical, equity-centered approach to assessing climate impacts, identifying priorities, building partnerships, and taking action. This session will introduce the updated BRACE Framework, Implementation Guide, and free on-demand training, highlighting practical tools, worksheets, and real-world examples. Participants will learn how to apply BRACE to strengthen partnerships, identify community needs, and advance equitable climate and health action, whether they are new to climate work or have an established program.
